Sparkle Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Extremely unlucky with the lack game time this season and I only assume that is based on us having more high profile players in midfield and a lack of height in league one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Sounds like Warne wasn't too keen on this move from his pre-match interview on the Derby website. Apparently turned down a loan move for him in January, and 2wasn't doing the merry jig" this time! Says he can pull him back if needed after a month, but added that he needs to play football. (No mention of why he couldn't play for under 21s to do that.) lrm14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the National League is overly beneficial, nor U21's, but it's the only place he can go with a window open and it'll definitely give him some experience with the nitty gritty side of the game needed in this division. lrm14 and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Needs football. Setting aside the rights and wrongs of his lack of game-time, he ought to get plenty of minutes at Scunny which will do him a lot more good than getting none stuck in the nether-nether land between the U21s and the 1st team. I can actually see this being good for Liam and good for Derby too, in the longer term. He remains a very good prospect.

I've watched a fair few National League games this season and the physicality along with intensity is definitely a big step up from the u21s. I was surprised when I first read he'd gone on loan there but having thought about it I think it'll be beneficial for him. He'll come back with more senior games in a very competitive league under his belt and hopefully be ready to contribute to the first team in some way, hopefully by injecting some much needed energy into our midfield as it has been rather lethargic of late.

jono Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 On 21/03/2023 at 14:41, Ghost of Clough said: The thing is, in my opinion he ticks 2 key Warne boxes. 1. High work rate. This is supposedly Warne's key requirement from any player 2. Good range of passing. Warne apparently likes to mix it up, although in recent weeks it's been less of a mix and more hopeful punts. We also have a small squad. The reluctance to use Tommo has been incredibly disappointing, especially when we've been missing our most important CM in recent weeks, our only experienced CM has been in desperate need of a rest for several games, and one of our other CMs was out injured for significant run of games. Yes. TBH I like Warnes pragmatism but on this one I think he’s got it wrong. I suppose he knows Liam will have something to offer in the future also, maybe it’s Liam saying I need to play more ?

VulcanRam Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 This will absolutely benefit the physical and time-on-the-ball part of his game. If he's not on the scene at Derby, this is a good move. National League is no worse a standard than L2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravabeerbelly Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Well that was a baptism of fire! Very tough league which, as with league two, is in no way a doddle for technically gifted footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravabeerbelly Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hmmm….I’m not sure that two comments on a fans forum from a very disgruntled and disillusioned fan base, disproves anything I said to be honest. Notts County are the most pure football team the National league has ever seen and so in that respect it would’ve suited him more than most other games at that or league 1/2 level. Also it wasn’t a dig at Thompson at all anyway, just that a 4-0 home loss on your debut is a tough baptism and there will be far more physical and ugly games to play than that one…which will be tough for any technically gifted players (which Thompson is).

rsmini Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The connection to this loan might be that the owner of Ilkeston Town ‘saved’ Scunthorpe by buying the club a few months ago. So I presume he was aware of Liam Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
